In the depths of Daibai Mountain, Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan and asked, "Do we need to go check if it is one of those eighteen bodies?"
Yan Aohan thought for a moment and said, "We should check. It would be good to know why they came here."
"That is simple. I will ask the plants and trees to watch them. We will know soon." After speaking, Zhu Yanyi gave orders to the nearby vegetation.
Those people would not come this way. They never imagined anyone else was here. For them, entering Daibai Mountain had its own purpose.
Through the plants, Zhu Yanyi heard their conversation. "They told me that there is a valley on Daibai Mountain. A fairy’s treasure is hidden there. They are not sure if they can find it. The three of them came here to look for that treasure."
"What kind of thing?" Yan Aohan asked casually.
"The Kunlun Mirror," Zhu Yanyi answered. "But I am curious. Is the real Kunlun Mirror really here?"
"It is fake," Yan Aohan said calmly. "The real Kunlun Mirror is in the hands of your sworn brother’s wife."
Sworn brother’s wife? Zhu Yanyi was stunned for a moment, then understood. "You mean Sister Wu and Sister-in-law Xie?"
"Yes. Not only the Kunlun Mirror, but many treasures are in her hands," Yan Aohan said casually. "I do not know who spread the rumor. Daibai Mountain does not have such things. However, Daibai Mountain does have one rare item."
"What?" Zhu Yanyi asked, looking very curious.
"The Heart of the Mountain God," Yan Aohan said.
"Daibai Mountain has existed for so long. It has developed its own spiritual intelligence. Therefore, the Heart of the Mountain God was born. If someone gets this, it is a rare treasure. However, the Heart of the Mountain God is not easy to take. Even I dare not take it casually. If the Mountain God gets angry, all living beings will suffer."
Yan Aohan told Zhu Yanyi very seriously. Most importantly, he wanted to tell her that even if those people found the Heart of the Mountain God, they could not take it.
"What if those people ignore the suffering of others?" Zhu Yanyi asked.
Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "Do you think the Mountain God is petty? Whoever has evil intentions will bear the consequences. So, no one wants the Heart of the Mountain God. Also, I will not allow anyone to touch the Heart of the Mountain God here."
Yan Aohan promised very seriously.
Others did not know the function of the Heart of the Mountain God. Yan Aohan knew it clearly. The Heart of the Mountain God exists to guard this land. No matter what disaster happens in the future, there will be a new pure land here. So, Yan Aohan would not allow anyone to destroy this pure land.
Hearing Yan Aohan’s words, Zhu Yanyi felt relieved. "Then should we attack those three people now?"
"Yes, let’s act. I also want to see where they come from. This might help us find the other fourteen people more easily," Yan Aohan said seriously.
Zhu Yanyi nodded and then asked, "Who will go?"
Yan Aohan shrugged and smiled. "Anyone can go. If you want to go, I will accompany you."
"We will go," Sikong Xuran said. "We have enjoyed the happiness this realm brought us. Now, let us do something for this realm."
Yan Aohan did not object. "Then you go. Be careful."
"Here is some medicine. Use it directly against them, then bring them here," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
"Okay." Sikong Xuran nodded immediately. He sent Yi Yunfei and Ouyang Tianyun. About half an hour later, the three returned. Each held one person. It seemed those three were completely defeated.
Zhu Yanyi pointed at the masks on their faces. "Why not take off the masks?"
Sikong Xuran and the others threw the people on the ground. Sikong Xuran went over again and took off the masks. Indeed, they were the bodies of three of the eighteen people.
Zhu Yanyi sighed slightly. "I will extract the souls from their bodies first." She placed her hands on their foreheads one by one. Soon, the souls came out. These souls were not the owners of these bodies.
Yan Aohan took out a book and handed it to Zhu Yanyi. Zhu Yanyi threw the souls into the book and gave it to Yan Aohan. As for the three bodies, Zhu Yanyi summoned Binglan and burned them to ashes.
This method was clean and left no traces.
The interrogation of the souls was left to Yan Aohan. The others did not care.
Yan Aohan questioned them briefly. It was not really an interrogation; he mainly searched their souls. So, he knew everything quickly and clearly. Even if they wanted to hide things, they could not.
"How is it?" Zhu Yanyi saw that Yan Aohan had finished searching their souls and hurried over to ask.
"These three also heard about the treasure here, so they came," Yan Aohan said without hiding anything.
"No way. If the treasure is just a rumor, it might not exist. They still came. They really have no brains," Zhu Yanyi commented.
Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "Among the eighteen people, nine are currently known. I will go deal with them. You rest first. I will probably return early tomorrow." Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. "Go ahead. If you do not return early tomorrow, we will walk slowly inward. Anyway, we will not be in danger here. You can find us after you finish."
"Okay." After speaking, Yan Aohan rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head and left with the three souls.
This matter was just an interlude for Zhu Yanyi and the others. They did not think too much about it. So, Zhu Yanyi and the others returned to their tents to rest.
The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, everyone got up for morning exercises.
Morning exercises were actually morning cultivation. Every day, Zhu Yanyi sat cross-legged to regulate her breath. In Daibai Mountain, there was more spiritual energy than in the mortal world. So, Zhu Yanyi and the others benefited greatly from their morning cultivation.
After morning exercises, Zhu Yanyi started making breakfast. Ouyang Tianyun felt guilty, so she came to help.
They made noodles for breakfast. There was some leftover three-fresh soup from yesterday. Zhu Yanyi went out early to find some wild vegetables. After washing them, she made a bowl of wild vegetable soup noodles. It was very good.
After eating, Yan Aohan had not returned. Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly, put away Yan Aohan’s portion, and cleaned up the area. Then, they walked inward.
Daibai Mountain was a primeval forest. Few people came here. It was rarely visited by humans. Even if someone came, they usually only walked around the outside. No one knew what might happen inside the forest. So, very few people came.
